Tom's pictures are better than anything I took yesterday. Hopefully they can help with the discussion. The thing I continue to find interesting is that these birds "keep their feet dry" (hid pics and mine) where Little Blue's, in my experience, have "wet feet" while feeding. Maybe that doesn't mean anything but I just wanted to put it out there.

Even with the bright light we had, the auto-focus did not always work.  I still have much to learn about birds and photography.
